C. Dan Adams … Donor PUBLICITY STUNT???

Published

October 19, 2019

Donor PUBLICITY STUNT???: Well … below are the donor totals through 9/30/2019 from the SC Department of Revenue that we were able to obtain because Jeff Davis (the target of anonymous and defamatory political email attacks) filed a FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT lawsuit against the SC Department of Revenue. Probably why these email attacks started up on 9/25/2019, but more on that later.

And the DONATIONS are worse than ANYONE could have expected …. and explains why (not so) Exceptional SC leadership REFUSED to tell school leaders how much had been raised.

But instead of #FireChadConnelly doing something to fix this (if he is even capable … which we doubt) …. Chad was hanging out at the Ritz Carlton in New Orleans this month doing “political” stuff WHEN HE SHOULD BE RAISING FUNDS FOR YOUR CHILD’S SCHOLARSHIP HERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA!!!

And instead of addressing the DATA BREACH …. on Friday (not so) Exceptional SC sent out a CELEBRATORY email promoting a $100,000 donation from C. Dan Adams.

Our question …. #1 WHY DID C. DAN ADAMS NOT DONATE EARLIER IN THE YEAR (or did he, and this is just a “stunt”?) …. and #2 WHO IS C.DAN ADAMS????

Normally praising donors is a good thing …. and we would not call it out … but C. Dan Adams is no ordinary donor …. and in fact, his organization was a major cause of this DEBACLE!!!!

PLUS … there are some rather NASTY posts about C. Dan Adams online by public interest group(s) about how he takes advantage of low income families.

And ironically … a FAILED SOUTH CAROLINA BANK that cost the FDIC and taxpayers $75 MILLION DOLLARS!!!! Here is the FDIC report as well … CLICK HERE.

And WORST of all as it applies to this program … C. Dan Adams organization …. Palmetto Promise Institute … was intimately involved in this 2016 GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER of the scholarship program.

REMEMBER … it was C. DAN ADAMS’ PALMETTO PROMISE INSTITUTE that said this GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER would make the program BIGGER. BETTER. FASTER. #MAJORFAIL!!! Palmetto Promise Institute has removed that failed “Legislative Analysis” from their website … but we have a copy. Click image below.

REMEMBER, DOR RECOMMEND THIS DEBACLE … RECOMMENDED THE GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER … AND NOW THEY REFUSE TO STEP UP TO FIX IT!!!

We will have MUCH MORE in the coming weeks … stay tuned!!!

SLED UPDATE – Chad Connelly Embezzlement Matter

Back in March, the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office issued a FORMAL referral to SLED (State Law Enforcement Division) to investigate the Chad Connelly “Embezzlement Matter”.

This is a known and disclosed fact … yet Chad Connelly has been running around South Carolina telling folks there is no SLED investigation. Wow, this is sad.

Well, last week we sent letters inquiring into the status of the investigation. It has been four months, so maybe they had an update.

Well, we received a reply … and apparently the investigation is still ongoing.

This is going to be BIG friends. We don’t think this one can be swept under the rug. We are told that South Carolina law enforcement knows they have to do something and they know people are watching. South Carolina is known for it’s PUBLIC CORRUPTION.

What has gone on with our school choice program is in our opinion PUBLIC CORRUPTION at its worst!!!

“SLED or any other agency”???OR ANY OTHER AGENCY??? Who else may be looking into Chad Connelly and this embezzlement matter??? Maybe just standard lawyer language … or was this a clue that other law enforcement agencies are looking into this matter.

This is a highly political matter. Chad Connelly is friends with A LOT of political figures. But even though some folks have tried to cover up for Chad … there are people trying to expose this matter for us, for you, and most importantly for your K-12 children.

Stay tuned … and KEEP PUSHING!!! Expose them all!!!

Exceptional SC’s Secretary of State Financial Report Late

Published

Annually (not so) Exceptional SC is required to file a TAX RETURN as well as REGISTER with the SC Secretary of State. The latest extended deadline for the 7/1/2019-6/30/2020 tax return is May 15th, 2021. We have been trying to get a copy of the tax return, a PUBLIC DOCUMENT, to no avail … so the situation seems VERY curious.

So we checked this week with the SC Secretary of State’s Office. Filing the TAX RETURN with the Secretary of State is the “Financial Report”. That was due as well May 15th, 2021. As of today, it has not been filed.

What does that mean? Well, technically Exceptional SC is still registered for right now, the SC Secretary of State’s Office confirmed that “There is currently a violation for that delinquent report that is accruing a fine of $10/day.”

Just further evidence the Government Appointed Board Members at (not so) Exceptional SC have no idea what they are doing.

TRANSFERING SCHOOLS???: The below form was also included in the email update this week. A little strange as it was just typed in the email text … but nonetheless, this is the information they need if a student transfers to a different school.

There was no mention in the email, so maybe the above form / image is the safest route … but you can always try the below link they have online as well. AGAIN, always double check with (not so) Exceptional SC however to confirm receipt of your child’s information.
